GPX Geophysical Exploration Services
Down Hole Electromagnetic Surveys
 
Downhole TEM surveys usually use a large, surface transmitter loop and a small diameter downhole receiver coil. The new Atlantis 3-Component Borehole Magnetometer and Geonics BH-43D coil that GPX use allows measurement of the axial (up-hole) and two orthogonal crosshole components of the magnetic field to be measured simultaneously.

Measurements are normally conducted at spacings of 5 to 25 metres.

GPX combine a SMARTEM receiver with the Atlantis or Geonics BH43-3D probe. The system is usually powered by a Zonge GGT30 Transmitter and 30 kva generator. See an example of this in a difficult environment.
